Istvan Balogh: The Young Writer

Listen here


(Simple English News) - Istvan Balogh is only 21 years old. Nevertheless, he is the author of two books.

His books are about the Jews who lived in Bekes county in southeastern Hungary.

Istvan, who is not Jewish, started writing his first book when he was only 13 years old.

There were 7,000 Jews who lived in Bekes county before World War II.

Five thousand were killed during the war. Most of the rest went to Western Europe, the United States or Israel. Only 75 Jews live in Bekes county today.

Istvan has collected the stories of the surviving Jews. He has also provided information on the synagogues, cemeteries and other Jewish buildings in the region.

Currently, Istvan is a university student. He would like to become a professor when he is finished school.
